2.79 is a previous generation of blender so files aren't directly upwards compatible by opening the files directly. However what you can and should do is:
Open a new blender file in the current version (2.8 and up) and go to File -> Append, browse to your 2.79 file and either append the whole Scene/ all collections or all Objects (click on either folder in the structure), using the A-key you can select everything. This will append all the meshes, materials etc (basicly the whole scene) into the fresh file.
Note if you append the whole Scene you will have to select it from the Scene selector dropdown in the header (it doesn't overwrite the current scene but adds it as and additional scene). If you append all collections/ objects it will add them to the current scene.

You can then use everything like you would have in 2.79. If you see pink textures, it means the file paths associations have to be reestablished, for instance if your new file is in a different directory, the relative file paths would be lost, but that depends where your textures were in the first place.

If the material was made for Blender Internal, which was removed in 2.8+, this might not work(?). You'd have to first convert it to Cycles/Nodes in 2.79.

When you append objects or whole scenes they automaticly bring their assigned materials with them (inlcuding the texture paths etc.). The option to append a material only, is just there for cases where people simply want to append whatever materials without importing any objects.
